[Build-common-hackers] Bug#423394: cdbs: Please have list-missing support a list of files that shouldn't be insntalled

[Sune Vuorela]

Package: cdbs
Version: 0.4.48
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch


Hi!

It would be really nice if it was possible to add some files to a list
like debian/not-installed to have files that deliberately shouldn't be
installed not showing up when running list-missing.

The following patch reads debian/not-installed and treats them as
installed files when showing the output of list-missing.

The following patch also allows lines starting with # to be treated as
comments. e.g for team maintained packages to have a short explanation
to why a file shouldn't be installed.
